CURE432: I liked the article about Qo-10 I have been reading about it for<BR>
years, even my dog is on it<BR>
<BR>
DTRCN: Thx, the Q10 and tocopherol articles where to add info to last week class<BR>
.<BR>
CURE432: I am interesedin what vitamins and mineral are good for a straght<BR>
back<BR>
DTRCN: I will try to cover what vit effects the bones make sure you read<BR>
about Vit D<BR>
<BR>
<B>How do they decide to research a vitamin? </B> That is a question not<BR>
many people know.<BR>
<BR>
DTRCN: The basis for research comes when a symptom has been shown to be<BR>
caused by a nutrient deficiency in several species of Lab Animals.<BR>
.<BR>
DTRCN: Then a "point" can be suggested to research the same problem in<BR>
human. However, only when that nutrient deficiency can be reproduced in humans<BR>
by deleting the nutrient in the diet and then "cured" by restoring it..........then<BR>
it can be claimed that the missing nutrient caused the "symptom" and completed<BR>
the cure.<BR>
<BR>
<B>The Problem: </B> the symptoms of a nutrient deficiency may not show up<BR>
for years in humans. By then the problems may not be reversible.<BR>
<BR>
BDeGraz: In "real" life what is the diet needed that we will get all our<BR>
required nutrients?<BR>
<BR>
DTRCN: You have asked similar question and there is most likely in this day<BR>
and age "NO" diet, I feel, we can eat that will give us the nutrients needed<BR>
to protect our bodies from the daily stressors we face. <BR>
.<BR>
DTRCN: Now if we had NO smog, cigarettes, stress, disease, war, hunger, etc <BR>
just eating from the land might do it but who knows. the ADA food pyramid is a start. I think I had emailed some info on what food combinations and amounts can give at least the minimum nutrients<BR>
needed<BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=3 PTSIZE=10>BDeGraz: Why then do people live so long?<BR>
</FONT><FONT SIZE=3 PTSIZE=10> .<BR>
DTRCN: Well, all the dinosaurs are dead, war is only elsewhere, and disease<BR>
was on the run though that may be turning around also. Our ancestors did not have our<BR>
knowledge about what to eat and they did not have the plethora of food available that we do<BR>
now. NOR, did they have the high tech diseases we are plagued with.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
BDeGraz: Why can't Vit E be taken with Coumdin?<BR>
<BR>
Ok you are talking about Vit E and Coumadin?<BR>
DTRCN: Was this from Class?<BR>
<B>ANSWER: Vit E may delay wound healing and cause bleeding..........yet later same text says <BR>
Vit E may contribute to blood clots. This is contradictory and I am checking other sources.<BR>
It seems from the text that this "only" affects people with blood clotting problems. Not he says<BR>
